In this brief YouTube monologue, the speaker explains how they finally got their chickens to stay inside the coop. They describe installing a 48‑inch net around the perimeter, tensioning the net through corner posts anchored to rebar, and securing a buried bottom black line with garden stakes to block crawling. The net is non‑electrified, and the chickens’ wings have been clipped to further prevent escape. The speaker reports that the system is now working and the chickens have not left the enclosure for weeks.

Chapters

Call the Inquirer. I haven't had a chicken out in weeks. Here's what's happened. 48-inch net, taunt for the most part. Look at this side. Taunt through corner posts, secure it in the end. Got these fiber-to-fuzz posts in the corner to a rebar that makes the line taut and secure. And then right here in between posts, you can't see it, it's probably buried in mulch, but we got garden stakes and we stake down the bottom black line. It's not electrified, and then the chickens can't crawl under. And everybody's wings is clipped. So, so far so good, this is working.
